Would you be up for a Kingdom Hearts 1 remake?

No I don't see the point unless they completely overhaul the Disney worlds to be more in line with or even grander than the ones in KH3.
Maybe if it was a remake that combined KH1 + 2 and did the above as well as flesh out the FF character storylines that appeared in those games.
Otherwise, the remasters are pretty much perfect.

The fact that KH1 feels like pissgarbage to play is pretty much the only thing that kept me from getting into the series a few years back, so I would hate to remove that safety net.
Not really, no. I think KH1 still mostly holds up well enough today.
Do you think KH1 wasn't already shonen-anime inspired?
No need.
A lot of context needs to be presented here. First off, KH 1.5 Remix was a miracle. A large majority of the original KH1 code was gone/missing and they had to re-create the majority of the game. I'd guess they used a PS2 copy original disc and went back and forth. You may notice how some elements of the scale of character to environment are different and elements of the camera. It was wild how they were even able to do it. Same for FFVIII Remastered.
I am one of the few fans that can play through the specific amount of Janky elements in the earlier game(s). To me, the KH1 that exists on PS4/PS5, that was further enhanced from the PS3 remix version.. This version is ideal and I don't need another remake.
I prefer to get KH4 and new games. KH1, KH2, KHBBS are perfect atm as they are, visually and mechanically. There is no point to remake them to KH3 visual standards. Just do a nextgen Destiny Islands and other zones in KH4.

I finished it for the first time in 2019 and had a great time with it. I see no need.
They should just focus on 4.

KH1 is on my short list of favorite games of all time and its a shame the switch got a shitty cloud version of it cause it would be perfect for a portable system (official steam version when?). but a remake could be cool if they just gave it some higher polly models, some QoL improvements and changed some level design so you can remove a ton of the load zones. i actually like the combat in KH1 despite how clunky it can feel, KH2 has the best combat so if they used that instead of any of the other games it could work. biggest thing is level design. like theres some great looking and iconic locations but navigating some of the worlds sucked.
I don't see anything wrong with it; go for it. I probably wouldn't play it but maybe the direction they choose could be more interesting that I'm thinking it would be.
I generally agree that we don't need more remakes, but I feel like if you're going to remake a PS2/Gamecube/Xbox era game, KH1 is one of the few I'd consider a good pick. The way the game is designed is completely out of parity with KH2 and onward, with each world basically feeling like a small diorama with a lot of crappy platforming and backtracking. I know a lot of people like KH1 but I've always thought it's a jank game, and it put me off of the series for a while. I also don't t just think it's "aged poorly," I think it was legit not very good in 2002, which is an unpopular opinion, but it's how I honestly feel. I also imagine it's rough for newer fans of the series. I also kinda think the game being designed that way was less of an artistic decision and more the developers having not found their footing yet wrt 3D action RPG game design and going to stuff like Banjo-Kazooie for inspiration and not really hitting the mark.

As much as we say this, it won't matter because publishers and developers have decided to remake everything anyway, from Shadow of the Colossus to Resident Evil 4 and even The Last of Us for crying out loud. So, might as well just brace for impact and hope it could be an interesting one at LEAST because they're definitely going to be looking into another one for another series eventually, I'm willing to bet. :P (Though I'll eat my words if untrue.)
I just want to replay hollow bastion, don't feel like going though the whole game just to get there
It absolutely does need one. KH is my favorite video game series, but 1 is the hardest one more me to get motivated and replay because of how poorly it aged. The platforming is floaty and imprecise. And the combat feels too slow.
Oh and having to replay Gummi missions is dreadful, especially with KH1 having the worst gummi missions in the series.

Go get yourself the collection when it goes on sale for like $20
Goes for that price often during the big holidays
Same. Plus CoM and Coded basically just retold it anyways.
Remake Days instead.
It was on sale for even cheaper than it is in normal sales a year or so ago, I think as a deal of the week type of thing, and I still kick myself hard for not nabbing it, I really do want to give the franchise a proper go. I'll keep an eye out for the next one!
Yes, there's far too little remakes.
But honestly though, not sure with KH1. It's just so simple and stylized that an entire remake wouldn't be worth it for me. Unless they fully voiced it etc. but that would be way too expensive, this would be the one case of just put it into the sequel instead.
Give me an Assassins Creed 1/2 remake and RDR1 remake though please. Thanks.

Kind of getting sick of remakes tbh. Maybe if they want to do some pre ps2 era remakes I'm not super interested. The 2DHD stuff really looks nice tho.
The only Kingdom Hearts games I want remade are the original X and Union X x Dark Road. You literally can't play the original gameplay anymore because they are service games. I want offline versions of the entire games' experience.
We really don't need to keep re-developing past games, so no. KH1 holds up fine. I guarantee whatever remake they would put out would A. Take ungodly long and B. Lose a lot of the charm from the original.
Nah, part of the charm of the game is that it's such a time capsule of the Disney and Squaresoft of that time.
